[Fwd: SRU LP292429 Error when copying directory tree with Nautilus to ~/Private using ecryptfs]

[Tim Gardner]

Michael,

This patch is being proposed as an SRU to Intrepid, but I'm having a
hard time reconciling the description with the actual function of the patch.

Allocating multiple scatterlist structures has nothing to do with
alignment, but what it _does_ do is correctly consume the second S/G
entry if the buffer passed to virt_to_scatterlist() crosses a page
boundary, correct? It seems to me that the bug occurs if the virtual
pages consumed by the buffer are not physically contiguous.
